Got an Android OS 2.1 or higher handset? Then you can download Skype for free via the Android Market or from Skype's website at www.skype.com/m. Skype works over WiFi, 3G and even EDGE to make calls over a data connection, that is unless you're in the US where you're currently limited to WiFi.

Skype says that Skype for Android works on compatible handsets running Android OS v2.1 and above and has been tested successfully by Skype on HTC Desire, HTC Legend, Google Nexus One, Motorola Milestone XT720, and Motorola Milestone. It may work on other Android phones, but we can?t guarantee full functionality or compatibility. We?re aware of some problems with the Samsung Galaxy S, and we?re looking to address these in the future.
